Regina coeli

Polyphonic ensemble SSAATTBB

Two equal choirs. [C]-C1; [A]-C3; [T]-C4]; [B]-F4. Entire range, F-d’’. Within a four-voice texture of independent voices, chant (App. 3) introduces the four textual lines in Chrs. I and II: “Regina celi,” C, mm. 1-7; “Quia quem,” C, mm. 11-14; “Resurrexit,” C, mm. 17-9; and “Ora pro nobis,” B, mm. 24-41. Textual phrases and specific words are distinguished through texture, antiphonal techniques and rhythmic gestures within a clearly defined structure. A flourish of fusae and antiphonal statements express “letare” (mm. 7-8). Antiphonal responses span the distance of a semibreve (typical of “alleluia” segments) to three breves (“Regina celi”). Antiphonal responses (Chr. II) relative to the first textual line, “Regina celi letare, alleluia,” restate the musical material of Chr. I (mm. 1-8); thereafter, pitch content varies but rhythmic gestures remain constant. Full voice (8 voices) homorhythmic texture closes each of the “alleluia” sections. Four-note melodic/rhythmic motives concurrent with “resurrexit,” sicut dixit” and “alleluia” consisting of minums and semiminums unify the antiphon. Final F, b♭ signature.

Regina caeli laetare, alleluia;
Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,
Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia,
Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.

The Trope:

Alle Domine nate matris Deus alme nobis confer praestaque vivere:
Quam [quoniam] te decet laus honor O Domine qui de morte surgebas rex pie:
Fac nos tecum surgere, alleluia.
